I made a trip to Phantom Canyon this weekend. I discovered it about 5 years ago when I was doing the Canon City Co. store. It starts at about 55oo feet and ends at about 9500 feet. It is the route that the gold trains used to travel and is just about the prettiest 27 miles you will ever travel. To learn more about it click here.

Love the variegated colors in the rocks-rich colors too. Just the right blend of rock and greenery.

Wonderful scene BTK and I would love to take a ride on the Cripple Creek Railway if it is still in existence. Killer Kolors Kid.

I can smell the sunlight on your skin. Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make!

---is just about the prettiest 27 miles you will ever travel---

Think you're right Billy because I've read (after checking out your link) that the Phantom Canyon Road is one of the most scenic and historic drives in Colorado.

If anyone has still some doubts, your wonderful photograph will remove them all.

Regards, Cornelius.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

This shot is a stunner, Billy. Unless I'm mistaken, you're not cloning in any foreign skies...at least I don't see any evidence. Without any flaws at the tree line to complain about, you have a glorious landscape here. Love the colors and that clean, crisp air.

Nice Scenery! Like the Darker canyon(?) in the Background, and the Golds and Greens really Bring it home... Very Nice!
